boy-chik Yiddish word for a young man with more chutzpah than brains. It's all about male-centered comic fiction, in the manner of P.G. Wodehouse, Peter De Vries (godfather of boychik) and more recent masters of the genre, Erik Tarloff (The Man Who Wrote the Book) and Peter Lefcourt (The Woody). Here's a place for commentary on this evolving form. You can buy Gerald's books from Amazon.com, bn.com, or your favorite bookseller in paper or ebook.

About me...

When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher approached me and asked with a sly grin, "You interested in mining?"I told him absolutely not. I was going to be a writer.Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City.Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, "Well, you're interested in mining your own business, aren't you?"And he sent me anyway.Now I realize I should've listened more carefully to everything he said.###Gerald Everett Jones is the author of the Rollo Hemphill series of comic novels, including My Inflatable Friend, Rubber Babes, andFarnsworth's Revenge.
